I bought British and other world coins from Karl Stephens 30-35 years ago! I guess I don't think of them as an ancients dealer, but I could...
The list of dealers is at https://www.nyinc.info/dealers.php. I've bought from a number of them, although some are known more as auction houses...
Hopefully it won't make a difference. Anyone who's there can still bid just as easily as if the auction were entirely live.
No -- the weekend after this one! Hopefully the snow will be gone by then. Unfortunately, my son is scheduled to fly to Toronto tomorrow. With his...
Did Mommsen address the "200th anniversary of Actium" theory? Did he think that was just a coincidence?
I believe that it's considered a jeton or token rather than a medal per se. It commemorates the engagement of Louis XV and the Infanta of Spain...
Thanks for laying everything out so thoroughly, @John Anthony. Since I just posted my own Janus coins the other day in one of the other threads...
I'm pretty sure that all or most of the denarii were being minted in Lugdunum at the time -- I recall reading that the Rome mint wasn't active then.
Wow -- I didn't realize that you've been collecting gold coins for almost 40 years! I imagine it was a mail bid auction, given that you don't live...

I first bought coins (British, not ancient) on the second floor at Stack's store on 57th Street in the mid-1980s. But the coin I have with the...

A really nice coin, @Bing! I haven't bought anything from @John Anthony and JAZ Numismatics in his last couple of auctions, but two of the coins...
If I'm able to go, I will almost certainly be there on the Friday, as early in the afternoon as possible, on the theory that it should be less...
Vespasian AR Denarius 74 AD; Obv. Laureate head right, IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG / Rev. Vespasian seated right in curule chair, holding branch...
I am planning to attend on the Friday or Saturday, assuming everything goes ok with my cataracts surgery scheduled for earlier that week, and that...
A fantastic group! I voted for 1, 5, and 8, but reserve the right to change my mind!
Never mind -- it's already been sold! And the price was too high for me anyway.
Is it my imagination, or does the rider have a mustache? So, a barbarian? Are you thinking of buying it? If so, I won't contemplate doing so myself.
Those I wasn't looking for. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen one for sale, at least labeled as such. (I see there are only 6 such sales...
